Managing safety

Good safety performance isn’t a matter of chance. Maintaining a safe, healthy workplace requires proactive, effective management – and commitment from the top. We have network- and plant-safety committees around the world which make sure we have a consistent approach to managing safety, and share best practice around the Group. The key elements and activities of our approach include:

Holding management to account for their leadership in preventing workplace injury/illness

Establishing safety policies that apply to all employees, contractors, visitors and customers

Providing systems to reduce and control risk as far as possible

Training employees in safe work practices and regulatory requirements

Including safety as the first topic of discussion at every business meeting
